Flying Rumors

Vice President Dick Cheney's office has denied the beguiling rumor that one of his daughters was heading to Iraq to be a human shield. Echo of Russia Radio had reported Saturday that Elizabeth Cheney had stopped in Jordan en route to Baghdad to join the human shields positioned at important Iraqi sites. The London-based Arabic daily Al Quds Al Arabi reported Tuesday the vice president would soon head to Jordan to convince his daughter to return. "Neither daughter even has plans to travel to that region, let alone Iraq," a Cheney spokesman said.
